3 Carbohydrates Definition: Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydic or polyhydroxy ketonic compounds or any compound giving these substances on hydrolysis. Classifications:- 1- According to type of carbonyl group: a-aldoses: Contain aldehydic group. Example: glucose. b-ketoses: Contain ketonic group. Example: Fructose. 2-According to number of sugar units: A-Monosaccharides (simple sugar):- - Composed of one sugar only. - Can t give simpler forms on hydrolysis. - Examples: Glucose and fructose. B-Oligosaccharides:- Composed of 2-10 units linked together through glycosidic linkage (between carbonyl group of one sugar with OH group of another one as lactose or between 2 carbonyl groups as sucrose). - They are sub classified according to number of sugar units into: 1- Disaccharides: composed of 2 units.they are either : a- Reducing: Examples: Lactose and maltose. b- Non-reducing: Example: Sucrose. 2- Trisaccharides. 3- Tetrasaccharides. C- Polysaccharides:- They are composed of more than 10 sugar units linked together through glycosidic linkage. Examples: Starch and dextrin. 3/48

4 Scheme of carbohydrates A-Physical characters:- 1-Colour:.... (As you see in your sample) 2-Odour:.... (As you see in your sample) 3-Action to litmus paper: neutral. 4-Aspect: clear or turbid (As you see in your sample) Monosaccharides B-Chemical characters:- 1- Molisch s test (general test for all carbohydrates): Procedure:-1 ml sugar solution +few drops of alcoholic alpha naphthol shake well then add 1 ml conc. sulphuric on the wall of the test tube carefully violet ring formed at the junction between 2 layers spreads by shaking. Comment:- 1- Dehydration of sugar to furfural as in fructose or hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) as in glucose by conc. sulphuric. 2- Condensation of furfural with 2 molecules of alpha naphthol giving violet ring. N.B:- Molisch s test is positive with all carbohydrates even carbonyl group is occupied as in disaccharides and polysaccharides which are first hydrolyzed to monosaccharides by conc. sulphuric. 2- Reduction of Cu ++ ions (for reducing sugars): Sugar solution (reducing agent) + Cu ++ /OH - (oxidizing agent) Sugar acid+ Cu 2 O (cuprous oxide, red ppt) N.B:- Oxidation potential of Cu ++ ions increases in alkaline medium: increasing alkalinity of OH - will increase the oxidation potential of Cu ++ and decrease the selectivity of the test. 4/48

5 Types of tests:- a- Fehling s test:- This test is for reducing sugar either monosaccharide or disaccharide. The reagents are: a-fehling A: CuSO 4 b-fehling B: 30% NaOH+ Roschell salt (sodium potassium tartarate). Procedure: 1 ml Fehling A+I ml Fehling B Shake well till dark clear blue solution then add 1ml sugar solution Heat for 2-5 mins on direct flame Cu 2 O red ppt N.B: Disadvantages of Fehling s test: a- Difficult handling of 2 separate bottles. b- The medium is highly alkaline so increasing oxidation potential of cupric ion become strong oxidizing agent can be reduced by any reducing agent. b- Benedict s test:- Benedict s reagent: CuSO 4 /sodium citrate/na 2 Co 3 in one bottle. Procedure: 1 ml sample+1 ml reagent then heat for 2-5 min on direct flame Red ppt is obtained. Advantages of benedict s reagent: a- One bottle is easly to be handled. b- Na 2 Co 3 renders the medium less alkaline so reducing the oxidation potential of Cu ++ and increasing selectivity of the test. c- Barfoed s test:- Test for reducing monosaccharides. Barfoed s reagent is cupper acetate/gatial acetic acid. Procedure:- 1 ml sugar solution+1 ml reagen heat on water bath for 5 min little red ppt within 5 min. Comment: Monosaccharides reduce Cu ++ to Cu 2 O (red ppt). 5/48

6 N.B:- 1- The medium is weakly acidic (the oxidation potential is very low) so only monsaccharides are oxidized after 2-3 min (maximum 5 minutes). 2-Disaccharides give positive results after prolonged heating due to hydrolysis to monosaccharides. 3- Ketose test:- This test is used for differentiation between aldose (glucose) and ketose (fructose). Procedure: 1ml sugar solution + 3ml conc. HCl fructose, Heat for 3 min reddish brown color in case of While in case of glucose no change in color or just pale yellow color appears. Comment: 1- In case of fructose: Dehydration of fructose and formation of furfural which is reddish brown in color. 2- In case of glucose: Dehydration to HMF which is colorless. 4- Moor's test: It is the action of 30% NaOH. Procedure: 2 ml sample+3 ml 30%NaOH boil for 2-3 min yellowish brown solution + burnt sugar odor (caramel odor). Comment: it is a reducing sugar contains free carbonyl groups undergo aldol condensation (caramelization) reaction in alkaline medium. 5-Osazone test:- Procedure: a- For monosaccharides: 2ml sample + 1gm phenyl hydrazine HCL + 5ml acetate buffer Mix well put in W.B. for min crystallization occurs on hot and appears as raphides (long needles) on the wall of the test tube without cooling. 6/48

7 b- For disaccharides: 2ml sample + 1gm phenyl hydrazine HCL + 5ml acetate buffer mix well then put in W.B. for 45 min cool slowly till crystallization transfer crystals carefully on a slide and examine under microscope the shape of these crystals under microscope are: a- Clusters Lactose b- Rosettes Maltose Comment: Formation of osazone crystals due to the reaction of one sugar + 3 phenyl hydrazine HCl in three successive steps: condensation, oxidation then condensation. Advantages of osazone test: 1- Differentiation between mono and disaccharides (so differentiate between glucose and lactose in urine of pregnant or lactating women diagnosis of D.M). (N.B: Benedict s test can t be used for detection of DM in case of pregnant and lactating women). 2- Sure detection of glucose in urine. 3- Differentiation between lactose and maltose. 7/48

10 Disaccharides They contain 2-monosaccharide units. They are classified into: a- Reducing disaccharides: examples: Maltose and Lactose b- Non-reducing disaccharides: example: Sucrose Chemical reactions for disaccharides: A- Reactions of reducing Disaccharides (Lactose & Maltose): as mentioned previously in monosaccharides. B- Non-Reducing disaccharides: (Sucrose or cane-sugar): It is formed by the condensation of a molecule of α-d-glucose with a molecule of β-dfructose through α-1,2-glucosidic linkage. It is non-reducing because as the two carbonyl atoms form the glucosidic linkage; thus no free carbonyl group is present in the molecule can t form osazone crystals and negative in all tests for reducing sugars. Chemical tests for sucrose: Test Observation Comment 1-Molisch test (general for all carbohydrates) Violet ring at the junction of 2 layers spreads by shaking. 1-hydrolysis of sucrose by conc. H 2 So 4 to simple sugars (glucose and fructose). 2-Dehydration to HMF. 3-Condensation between HMF and 2 molecules of alcoholic alpha naphthol. 2-Reduction of Cu ++ : a-fehling s test: b-benedict s test: No red ppt No red ppt Due to the absence of free carbonyl group (non-reducing sugar) c-barfoed s test: 3-Moor`s test: (for reducing sugars) No little red ppt within 5 min No yellowish brown color and Due to the absence of free carbonyl group (non-reducing sugar) 10/48

11 4-Osazone test: 5-ketose test: 6-Fehling s after hydrolysis: Procedure: 2 ml sucrose solution + 2 ml dil. H 2 SO 4 boil 2-3 min cooling neutralize excess acid with 2ml 30 % NaOH add 2ml of previously mixed Fehling s reagents. no burnt sugar odor. No crystal formation Reddish brown color. Red ppt. Due to the absence of free carbonyl group. 1- Due to hydrolysis into glucose and fructose. 2- Dehydration of fructose into furfural which has reddish brown color. The acid hydrolyzes sucrose to glucose and fructose both of which reduce Cu ++ to Cu 2 O (red ppt). N.B: Neutralization is essential otherwise the red precipitate Cu 2 O dissolves in acidic medium, thus interfering with the test. 11/48

Salting in: It is the increase in the solubility of solute by addition of amount of neutral salt. Test Observation Comment a) Half saturation: using saturated solution of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 b) Full saturation: using (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 powder. Small white ppt. Heavy white creamy ppt. Ammonium Sulphate has higher affinity to water than starch so it removes H 2 O molecules surrounding starch, leading to precipitation of starch. 2- Dextrin Composition: 1- They are the products of partial hydrolysis of starch (mixture of amylodextrin, erythrodextrins and achrodextrins). 2- The commercial dextrin contains traces of glucose & maltose little reducing properties with Fehling's (the strongest due to high alkalinity). Scheme of dextrins: 1- Physical characters: The same as in mono- and disaccharides. 2- Chemical reactions: a- Molisch s test: As with all carbohydrates 16/48

17 b- Tests for free carbonyl groups: i- Fehling's +ve after prolonged heating little red ppt as it contains traces of maltose and glucose which reduce Cu +2 Cu 2 O because Cu +2 has high oxidation potential in highly alkaline medium. ii- -ve Benedict's, -ve Barfoed, s, -ve Moor's, -ve Osazone 3- Special tests of dextrins: a- 1 2 test the same as starch but violet color obtained in all steps instead of blue color in case of starch due to the formation of dextrin I 2 complex. b- Salting out: only give precipitate with full saturation. Test Observation Comment a- half saturation No ppt It is fairly soluble. b- full saturation White ppt Due to higher affinity of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 to H 2 O than dextrins. 17/48
